Volume 4: The Case of the Spiegel Chapter 99: Calculation
Half an hour later, Duan Ming just took a beautiful bath, changed into clean clothes, and was about to lie down for a while when he heard someone knocking on the door.
When he opened the door, there was a servant standing outside the door: "Mr. Duan, Master and Miss please come over for dinner." ”
"Okay." Duan Ming nodded, and went to the main hall with the servants.
At this moment, King Jing'an and Li Wan'er were sitting in the main hall waiting.
"Mr. Duan, you're here." When Li Wan'er saw Duan Ming, she hurriedly stood up.
"I've seen King Jing'an, Lord Wan'er." Duan Ming said to the two of them with a slight salute.
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Duan, please take a seat." King Jing'an pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Wan'er has already told me that I was taken care of by Mr. Duan in Fanxing Temple and Linyang City before, and I am grateful. ”
"The prince is polite, it is the county lord Wan'er who takes care of me." Duan Ming said after sitting down.
"By the way, I still have to thank Mr. Duan for Lao Chu's matter, that elm head, if it weren't for Mr. Duan's help, I'm afraid I would have been tricked." King Jing'an sighed: "But unfortunately, Meng Lao told me that he didn't find that person. ”
"Actually, I have a faint guess in my heart about that person." Duan Ming said: "At that time, Linyang City was already under martial law, and it was not easy for that person to leave, so that person should still be in the city at that time. ”
"But there are not many people in the city who have such ability and can be appreciated by Chu Hou."
"One is Song Yi, the commander of the city guarding the city who was relegated to Linyang, and the other is Qingshan of the Immortal Sect."
"But as far as I know, Song Yi is not in harmony with the Immortal Sect, so there is no need to do this at all."
"So, nine times out of ten, that person is Qingshan."
"But if that's the case, how dare Qingshan show his head?" King Jing'an said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid of being caught by Lao Chu?" ”
"I also have a bold guess about this." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "The shop that sells heads in the ghost market, why does it buy so many heads? ”
"Judging from their layout, it's not for medical research with human heads."
"Then there's only one possibility, making a face mask."
"But the face mask, as clever as it is, is not easy to keep."
"So the store kept the whole head intact and skinned the people who knew they needed it."
"And when Qingshan went to find Chu Hou, he should have been wearing a human face mask."
"But that's just your guess." After pondering for a moment, King Jing'an said.
"That's right, so I didn't say it at the time, because it was just a guess and there wasn't any evidence." Duan Ming sighed: "The face mask must have been destroyed, and the people in that shop have already fled, even if I say it, it won't have any effect." ”
"Well, you're smart." King Jing'an nodded: "For an existence like the Immortal Sect, if you can't kill it directly, don't do it lightly, otherwise there will be no benefit except for its revenge." ”
"Thank you for your advice." Duan Ming said.
"That's right, Dad." Li Wan'er said to King Jing'an: "You also know that I invited Mr. Duan to come for the case of the eldest brother, can you tell Mr. Duan what is going on?" ”
"Mr. Duan rarely comes to Kyoto, Wan'er, you have to entertain you well. Let's take Mr. Duan around tomorrow. King Jing'an did not answer Li Wan'er.
"Daddy!" Li Wan'er screamed.
"Alright, let's eat." King Jing'an interrupted, then pondered for a while, and said, "Xing Qianqiu's case is extraordinary, don't involve yourself and Mr. Duan, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Before Li Wan'er could speak again, Duan Ming said.
"Okay." Li Wan'er looked at King Jing'an, then at Duan Ming, and sighed.
Soon, after the three of them finished eating, King Jing'an left first, leaving only Duan Ming and Li Wan'er in the hall.
"I don't understand, why does my father still refuse to say, do you have to wait for Brother Xing to be beheaded?" Li Wan'er pouted.
"It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't say it." Duan Ming pondered slightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this matter should be related to the royal family. ”
"What do you mean?" Li Wan'er looked at Duan Ming.
"In the world, there are very few things that King Jing'an can't say, and the most likely of them is related to the royal family." Duan Ming said: "And ......"
"And what?" Li Wan'er looked at Duan Ming suspiciously.
"And, damn it, I've been put on the table again!" Duan Ming gritted his teeth: "These people, all of them are old foxes!" ”
"What's wrong?" Li Wan'er was even more puzzled.
"That's right, just before you came to me, there was a guy who just came to me." Duan Ming took a deep breath: "The captain of Linyang City's city guard, Song Yi!" ”
"I didn't understand what he was looking for me to do. As a result, he just told me a story. Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Do you know Song Yi, no, why was Song Rengui relegated to Linyang City?" ”
"Song Rengui? It turned out to be him? Li Wan'er said: "No wonder I think he seems to be very familiar." ”
"Have you seen it? Oh, by the way, you used to enter the palace often, and it was normal to meet the commander of the Imperial City Division. Duan Ming was stunned.
"Well, but Song Rengui is a man of few words on weekdays, like an iceberg." Li Wan'er said: "I rarely saw him, so I didn't recognize him. ”
"Silent? There are some, indeed. Duan Ming nodded: "When he saw me, he just handed me a jade pendant and told me that if he had the opportunity to come to the capital, if he encountered something that could not be solved, he would take this jade pendant to the Imperial City Division to find a person named Yu Chen." ”
"Imperial City Division?" Li Wan'er was a little surprised: "What can you do to find the Imperial City Division?" ”
"yes, I was confused at the time." Duan Ming sighed: "But I thought that the relationship sent for nothing didn't need to be in vain, so I accepted it." ”
"Now it seems that the person surnamed Song must have known about Xing Qianqiu, guessed that I would definitely come here, and guessed that I must not be able to inquire about what happened."
"That's why you gave me the jade pendant to help me solve the case!"
"It's not good." Duan Ming gritted his teeth and said, "There is still a calculation of a thousand knives in this!" ”
"This ......," Li Wan'er was speechless.
"Forget it." Duan Ming slowly stood up and exhaled a long breath: "No matter what the reason is, I have also settled on this muddy water!" ”
"So what should we do?" Li Wan'er asked.
"It's very simple, let's go to the Spiegel Division tomorrow to have a look, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the Imperial City Division!" Duan Ming said in a deep voice!
